Punjab Kings are at the top of the points table and have not lost any match so far. Under captain Shreyas Iyer, the team is playing very well.
Bowling is a concern for Shreyas Iyer PBKS
While batting has been strong, bowling looks a bit weak. Players like Arshdeep Singh, Marco Jansen, and Chahal have not made a big impact yet.
